The general solution of the anomaly consistency condition (Wess-Zumino equation) has been found recently for Yang-Mills gauge theory. The general form of the counterterms arising in the renormalization of gauge invariant operators (Kluberg-Stern and Zuber conjecture) and in gauge theories of the Yang-Mills type with non power counting renormalizable couplings has also been worked out in any number of spacetime dimensions. This Physics Report is devoted to reviewing in a self-contained manner these results and their proofs. This involves computing cohomology groups of the differential introduced by Becchi, Rouet, Stora and Tyutin, with the sources of the BRST variations of the fields ("antifields") included in the problem. Applications of this computation to other physical questions (classical deformations of the action, conservation laws) are also considered. The general algebraic techniques developed in the Report can be applied to other gauge theories, for which relevant references are given.

Light-Front approach to $4d$ massless Higher-Spin interactions
Solving Poincaré-algebra closure at quartic order yields infinitely many local 4d massless higher-spin theories (finite or infinite spectra), classifies chiral one-/two-derivative models, and determines all local unit...

A light-front quartic-constraint analysis classifies local massless higher-spin vertices and amplitudes, yielding no-go results for unitary theories and new quasi-chiral higher-spin sectors.

Black Hole Entropy Beyond the Wald Term in Nonminimally Coupled Gravity: A Covariant Phase Space Decomposition
Black hole entropy in diffeomorphism-invariant nonminimal gravity decomposes as S_H = S_W + S_1 + ΔS, with the extra terms required for bumblebee and Weyl-vector Gauss-Bonnet solutions but not for regular Kalb-Ramond ...

Residual Symmetries and Their Algebras in the Kerr-Schild Double Copy
The Kerr-Schild double copy enlarges residual symmetries at the ansatz level but preserves physical symmetries after cohomological reduction, exposing a mismatch between Yang-Mills and gravity residual symmetry structures.

Symmetries Beget Symmetries: Ghostly Higher-Form Symmetries and the Descent Equation
Using the BV formalism, the authors show that descent equations turn ordinary higher-form symmetries into families of 'ghostly' symmetries generated by currents of nonzero ghost number.

Field-dependent diffeomorphisms and the transformation of surface charges between gauges
The Weyl charge in (A)dS3 gravity is kinematical: it can be toggled on or off by a field-dependent diffeomorphism between Bondi-Sachs and Fefferman-Graham gauges.

Background-Equivariant BRST Observables and i-Particle Propagators from an Auxiliary Quartet in SU(3) Yang-Mills
A BRST-exact quartet extended to SU(3) Yang-Mills generates i-particle propagators as off-shell BRST cocycles whose composite two-point function admits a Källén-Lehmann representation with positive real threshold.

The paper extends the FMS sector-by-sector Slavnov-Taylor decomposition to trilinear vertices at one loop and tabulates ultraviolet divergent amplitudes that are claimed to satisfy the identities.

Finiteness of the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons action in linear covariant gauges by taking into account gauge copies
Adding Gribov-copy removal and condensates to three-dimensional Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory in linear covariant gauges leaves the theory finite at all orders.
